Organization and Business Operations	Note 1. Organization and Business Operations Business Description The Company originated as business operations conducted through Partner Colorado Credit Union (“PCCU”), which were transferred to SHF LLC (“SHF”), then an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of PCCU. SHF Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Northern Lights Acquisition Corp. (“NLIT”), acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of SHF in a transaction that closed on September 28, 2022 (the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination was consummated pursuant to a Unit Purchase Agreement dated February 11, 2022 (the “Business Combination Agreement”) among SHF, SHF Holding Co., LLC (the direct parent of SHF and a wholly owned subsidiary of PCCU), PCCU, NLIT, a special purpose acquisition company, and its sponsor, 5AK, LLC. Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, NLIT changed its name to “SHF Holdings, Inc.” In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”), we use the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” to refer to the business and operations of SHF Holdings, Inc. following the closing of the Business Combination. (Refer to Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.) SHF was formed by PCCU following the approval of the contribution of certain assets and operating activities associated with operations from both certain branches and Safe Harbor Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCCU, to SHF Holding, Co., LLC. SHF Holding, Co., LLC then contributed the same assets and related operations to SHF, with PCCU’s investment in SHF maintained at the SHF Holding, Co., LLC level (the “reorganization”). The reorganization effectively occurred July 1, 2021. In conjunction with the reorganization, all of the employees engaged in the operations and certain PCCU employees were terminated from PCCU and hired as SHF employees. Collectively, Oldco, the relevant operations of the PCCU branches, and SHF, represent the “Carved-Out Operations.” After the reorganization, the entirety of the Carved-Out Operations were owned by SHF and Oldco was dissolved. In addition, effective July 1, 2021, SHF entered into an Account Servicing Agreement and Support Services Agreement with PCCU, which memorialized the operational relationship between SHF and PCCU and which were subsequently amended and restated and are discussed in Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On September 28, 2022, the parties consummated the Business Combination, resulting in NLIT acquiring all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of SHF in exchange for an aggregate of $185,000,000, consisting of (i) 11,386,139 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock with an aggregate value equal to $115,000,000 and (ii) $70,000,000 in cash, $56,949,801 of which will be paid on a deferred basis. At the closing, 1,831,683 shares of the Class A Common Stock were deposited with an escrow agent to be held in escrow for a period of 12 months following the closing date to satisfy potential indemnification claims of the parties. In addition, $3,143,388 in cash and cash equivalents representing the amount of cash on hand at July 31, 2021, less accrued but unpaid liabilities, were also paid to PCCU at the closing. For more information about the Business Combination, refer to Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. As a result of the Business Combination, PCCU is the Company’s largest stockholder, owning 55.92% of the Company’s outstanding Class A Common Stock. The Business Combination Agreement was amended to provide for the deferral of a portion of the cash due to PCCU at the closing of the Business Combination. The purpose of this deferral was to provide the Company with additional cash to support its post-closing activities. Furthermore, PCCU also agreed to defer $3,143,388, representing certain excess cash of SHF due to PCCU under the Business Combination Agreement, and the reimbursement of certain reimbursable expenses under the Business Combination Agreement. On October 26, 2022, SHF Holdings, Inc., entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with PCCU and Luminous Capital USA Inc. (“Luminous”), an affiliate of the sponsor of NLIT. Under the Forbearance Agreement, PCCU has agreed to defer all payments owed by the Company pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement for a period of six months from the date of the Forbearance Agreement while the parties engage in good faith efforts to renegotiate the payment terms of the deferred obligations. The Company generates both interest income and fee income through providing a variety of services to financial institutions desiring to service the cannabis industry including, among other things, the origination, onboarding, and servicing of cannabis-related deposit business for and on behalf of those partner institutions; Bank Secrecy Act and other regulatory compliance and reporting related to these accounts; onboarding these accounts and responding to account and customer service inquiries; and sourcing, underwriting, and servicing, and administering loans issued to cannabis businesses and related entities. In addition to PCCU, the Company provides these similar services and outsourced support to other financial institutions providing banking to the cannabis industry. These services are provided to other financial institutions under the Safe Harbor Master Program Agreement. On October 31, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Abaca Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, SHF Merger Sub I, a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub I”), SHF Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II” and, together with Merger Sub I, the “Merger Subs”), Rockview Digital Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation, d/b/a Abaca (“Abaca”) and Dan Roda, solely in such individual’s capacity as the representative of the security holders of Abaca (the “Abaca Stockholders’ Representative”). On November 11, 2022, the parties to the Abaca Merger Agreement entered into an amendment to the Abaca Merger Agreement to modify the number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to be issued as consideration thereunder. On November 15, 2022, the parties consummated the transactions contemplated by the Abaca Merger Agreement, as amended. Pursuant to the Abaca Merger Agreement, as amended, (a) Merger Sub I merged with and into Abaca, with Abaca surviving as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger I”) and (b) immediately following the effective time of the Merger I, Abaca merged with and into Merger Sub II (“Merger II” and, collectively with Merger I, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II surviving Merger II as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Abaca Merger Agreement, as amended, the Company acquired Abaca together with its proprietary financial technology platform in exchange for $30,000,000, paid in a combination of cash and shares of the Company as follows: (a) cash consideration in an amount equal to (i) $9,000,000 ($3,000,000 was payable at the closing of the Mergers (the “Merger Closing”), with an additional $3,000,000 payable at each of the one-year and two-year anniversaries of the Merger Closing), (collectively, the “Cash Consideration”); and (b) 2,100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at the Closing Date and $12,600,000 (minus an outstanding note balance of $500,000, plus accrued interest) in shares of Class A Common Stock at the one-year anniversary of the Merger Closing based on a 10-day VWAP (collectively, the “Share Consideration”). Each of the Company, the Merger Subs, and Abaca provided customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Agreement. On March 29, 2023, the Company and PCCU entered into a definitive transaction to settle and restructure the deferred obligations, including $56,949,800 into a five-year Senior Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $14,500,000 bearing interest at the rate of 4.25%; a Security Agreement pursuant to which the Company will grant, as collateral for the Note, a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company; and a Securities Issuance Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will issue 11,200,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to PCCU. The Company and PCCU also entered into the Commercial Alliance Agreement that sets forth the terms and conditions of the lending-related and account-related services governing the relationship between the Company and PCCU and supersedes the Loan Servicing Agreement, as well as the Amended and Restated Support Services Agreement and the Amended and Restated Account Servicing Agreement.
